Neck pain: Commonest causes are myofascial pain stress anxiety and cervical spondylosis the precence of a chiari malformation doesnt confirm it as a pain generator needs clinical correlation its pretty low in the differential list for neck pain in my practice pain with tenderness is muscular pain with passive extension is facet arthritis nerve impingement causes arm not neck pain
